U-Haul was founded by a Navy veteran who grew up in the Great Depression. Tires
and gas were still rationed or in short supply during the late 1940s when U-Haul
began serving U.S. customers. Today, that background is central to the U-Haul

the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” Our commitment to
reduce, reuse and recycle includes fuel efficient moving vans, neighborhood
proximity, moving box reuse, moving pads made from discarded material and
packing peanuts that are 100 percent biodegradable. Learn more about these facts
